“In a makerspace, students get to make their own meaning.”

- Karen Cheser, Maker Movement

Educators love the Makerspace concept, because it allows students to dig in and explore concepts they may have learned from lectures, books and written assignments in a whole new way. Whether you already have a space in your school, or are exploring the Makerspace as a new project, the benefits to students for STEM and STEAM learning are a great motivation to think about the newest technologies and supplies that can help students win!

Have Fun With Your Makerspace!

  • Include equipment like a poster maker, or a cutout maker so students can design and print visual learning tools.
  • Encourage students to build things like duct tape wallets, night lights or bird houses to get them off of devices and into the real world manipulation of objects.
  • Expand horizons with coding stations, graphic design programs and other computer-based learning that helps students move toward the careers of the future.
